  • Tsantali Olympic Ouzo

    3.5 out of 5 stars
    40 ABV. Prominent Greek wine and ouzo producer. Olympic ouzo is a lower line. Clear color, medium mouthfeel, strong anise and herbal flavor, sweet and little alcohol burn. Loaches nicely with water or ice

    Metaxa is made by diluting aged cask strength grape brandy with muscat wine and botanicals (like anise, rose petals, etc). Each star represents a year's ageing. 40 ABV. Flavor of the five star is honey floral and fruit, wood with a ethanol bite (compared to the 7 star). Thin quick finish. Sip room temp or with ice.

    Floral and juniper nose, juniper and herbal on the tongue. Very sweet through the finish, taking the bite out of the juniper and botanicals. Thick and rich and sweet, round and soft in the mouth. This is one to drink straight, with ice, but it also makes for an interesting twist on gin-forward cocktails.

    Sweet, lightly floral nose, with a good ginger bite. Viscous, hangs around in a glass and holds its own in a cocktail. Quality liqueur. Perfect for adding character to whatever you're drinking. Well... almost.
